| Message | Firearms ownership will encourage good and responsible gun skills amongst our people, whilst duelling will ensure our citizenry are amongst the best in the world in close combat situations. We also allow women in the military - a big concession by the GJP - that will free up males to serve in front-line positions insteads of being wasted in bureaucracy. Finally, we feel that any enemy that threatens us should in turn be threatened with enslavement. The best deterrant, and best way to ensure peace, is to make the consequences of war apocalyptic for our rivals. |

| Message | While we understand about the women in the army clause we must elaborate: Firearm ownership is only gonna make the populace more unruly that it even is now.Dueling can be used to hide murders under the pretense of dueling and finally if we enslave enemy combatant we have to make sure that they have some semblance of well being and feed them. We simply cannot vote in favour of this. |

| Message | The NSMWP does not support Article 3 and 4. Unregulated duels, that puts the public's safety at risk. If there were to be a training place for this and having an official watching them than it would be ok. For Article 4, you can't make all adults own a gun. There would be too many shootings and more violent spouses shooting up their families. So we're going to vote no for this. |
